[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The ATF is merely trying to justify it's existence. It should have been abolished since the Waco debacle.

[Lawgvr1955]

I once had a bumper sticker shortly after Waco that read, "Is Your Church ATF Approved?". (If the Government approves of your religion, your structure is a "church". If the Government doesn't approve, the structure is referred to as a "compound".)

There were so many mistakes made at Waco, ones head spins. Yet how many in the government lost their job or were disciplined? NONE.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Yes somewhat, it's the superviisors trying to generate cases to keep their cushy well paid postions in existence. I spoke with one agent, who said that NRA members are fanatics. I informed him, I am a NRA Lifetime Member, to which he dropped his head in shame and walked away. There are some good agents in the agency, but many of the supervisors are incompetent. Some of my friends that were in the military took an early out to hire on with ATF. To there dismay they found ex-military peronnel are loathed by the klintoonisque crowd still sucking on the tit in ATF.
Waco my friend, was a tragedy for both the followers in the camp and the agents' who lost their lives. This is what happens when incompetent people are in charge. This incident should have never occurred. Klintoon, Butch Reno, Shrillary, and personnel from the FBI/ATF and US military should have been prosecuted for cover-ups, false reports, and creating a situation that could have been resolved with out loss of life and property. Some higher ups lied and good people died. May all those who lost their lives that day rest in heaven for now and forever. Even death does not separate us from our loved ones. So Mote It Be!!
